Common INET considerations

If you have configured a common INET (CINET) environment where multiple TCP/IP stacks are active, and you want to run multiple SNMP agents, each associated with a specific stack, review the following additional configuration steps:

• You probably need to create a separate set of SNMP agent configuration files for each SNMP agent that you are going to start.
• If you want to start SNMP subagents that connect to the agent using a z/OS® UNIX path name, then you need to perform the following tasks:
  • Define a unique path name for each stack.
  • Specify this path name on the SNMP agent -s start parameter.

    See OSNMPD parameters in z/OS Communications Server: IP Configuration Reference for more information about this parameter.

  All of the z/OS Communications Server SNMP subagents connect to the agent using a z/OS UNIX path name.
